I tried your quesadilla recipe last week and it was great. Yum...now a dessert. Keep it up. Since we're on the topic of cheesecakes with alcohol in it, here's my favorite recipe for White Chocolate Cheesecake with White Chocolate Brandy Sauce. It's out of this world. White Chocolate Cheesecake with White Chocolate Brandy Sauce INGREDIENTS 4 (1 ounce) squares white chocolate 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese 3/4 cup white sugar 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 3 eggs 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups finely chopped white chocolate 2 fluid ounces brandy DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Wrap the outside of a 10 inch springform pan with foil. Grease the inside of the pan. 2. Place the cream cheese, sugar, and flour in a mixing bowl and cream until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape bowl. 3. Melt 4 ounces of the white chocolate. With an electric mixer on low speed, mix melted white chocolate into cream cheese mixture. Keeping electric mixer on low, slowly beat in the vanilla and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Blend well. Pour mixture into the prepared springform pan. 4. Place cheesecake pan in a water bath filled with warm water. Bake at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until center of the cheesecake is just firm. Cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Refrigerate until set before removing from pan. 5. To make White Chocolate Brandy Sauce: Place 1 cup heavy cream in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Watch carefully so it doesn't boil over. Pour hot cream over 2 cups of finely chopped white chocolate and stir with a wooden spoon until melted. Add brandy and continue stirring until incorporated. Pour over chilled cheesecake and serve. Thanks again Hens! I tried your quesadilla recipe last week and it was great. Yum…now a dessert. Keep it up.
